🤖 AI Analysis

Final verdict: SAFE

The package exhibits low risks across multiple categories, with no signs of malicious activity. However, the incomplete author information and single package maintenance by the maintainer slightly elevate the metadata risk.

No network or shell risks detected
Low obfuscation and credential risks
Incomplete author information and single package maintenance

Per-check LLM notes

Network: No network calls detected, which is normal for a package focused on TCP networking utilities without external service dependencies.
Shell: No shell execution patterns detected, indicating no unexpected system command execution.
Obfuscation: No obfuscation patterns detected, indicating low risk.
Credentials: No credential harvesting patterns detected, indicating low risk.
Metadata: The author's information is incomplete and the maintainer has only one package, which could indicate a less experienced or potentially suspicious maintainer.

💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with PyTCP-net-addr

Create a network scanner tool using Python that leverages the 'PyTCP-net-addr' package to identify active hosts on a local network segment. This tool should be able to scan a range of IP addresses within a subnet and determine which ones are currently active by sending a simple ping request (ICMP echo request) to each address and listening for responses. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the project requirements:

1. **Project Name**: NetworkScanner
2. **Core Functionality**:
   - Utilize 'PyTCP-net-addr' to generate IP addresses within a specified subnet.
   - Send ICMP echo requests to each generated IP address.
   - Listen for ICMP echo replies from each address.
   - Report back to the user which IP addresses responded, indicating they are active.
3. **Suggested Features**:
   - User input for specifying the subnet to scan.
   - Option to specify a timeout period for ICMP requests.
   - Display results in a human-readable format, such as a table or list.
   - Ability to save the scan results to a file.
4. **Implementation Steps**:
   - Install 'PyTCP-net-addr' via pip.
   - Write a function to generate IP addresses within a given subnet using 'PyTCP-net-addr'.
   - Implement a method to send ICMP echo requests using 'PyTCP-net-addr' functionalities.
   - Develop a listener that waits for ICMP echo replies.
   - Create a user interface that allows users to input the subnet and configure settings like timeout periods.
   - Implement a feature to log and display scan results.
   - Optionally, add functionality to export results to a CSV file.
5. **Utilization of 'PyTCP-net-addr'**:
   - Use 'PyTCP-net-addr' to validate and manipulate IP addresses and subnets.
   - Leverage the package's capabilities to handle low-level network operations such as sending and receiving ICMP packets.
   - Ensure the tool is efficient and scalable, making use of 'PyTCP-net-addr' for performance optimization.
